You’ll Need:

  • 2 organic eggs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk/almond milk or water
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • dash ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons organic butter, grassfed butter, coconut oil or Smart Balance Omega butter
  • 2 strips of turkey bacon or 1 strip of all natural uncured bacon
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh baby spinach
  • 1/4-1/2 avocado
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sriracha chili sauce (optional) I like to add a little spicyness to everything 😉
  1. Crack the organic eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them until they turn an even pale yellow color.
  2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the organic butter and let it melt.
  3. Add the milk or water to the eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grab your whisk or electric beater and whisk like crazy. Whatever device you use, you’re trying to beat as much air as possible into the eggs.
  4. When the butter in the pan is hot enough to make a drop of water hiss, pour in the eggs. Don’t stir! Let the eggs cook for up to a minute or until the bottom starts to set.
  5. With a rubber spatula, gently push one edge of the egg into the center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow the still liquid egg to flow in underneath. Repeat with the other edges, until there’s no liquid left.
  6. If your egg pancake sticks at all, loosen it with your spatula.
  7. Now gently flip the egg pancake over, using your spatula to ease it over if necessary. Cook for another few seconds, or until there is no uncooked egg left.
  8. If you’re adding any other ingredients, now’s the time to do it. I crumbled 1 strip of cooked turkey bacon and diced tomato across the center of the egg in a straight line.
  9. With your spatula, lift one edge of the egg and fold it across and over, so that the edges line up. Cook for another minute or so, but don’t overcook or allow the egg to turn brown. If necessary, you can flip the entire omelet over to cook the top for 30 seconds or so. Just don’t let it get brown.
  10. Gently transfer the finished omelet to a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh veggies and herbs and enjoy!
